Marvel Rivals Season 1: Event Missions a Smash Hit

Summary

• Players are enthusiastic about the Season 1 Midnight Features event quests in Marvel Rivals.
• These quests offer flexibility, allowing completion across multiple game modes, including AI matches. This is a welcome feature for many players.
• NetEase Games plans to introduce a new playable hero to Marvel Rivals every month and a half.

Marvel Rivals players are expressing widespread appreciation for the Season 1: Eternal Night Falls Midnight Features event quests. This positive reception comes on the heels of recent successes for NetEase Games, including a DICE award nomination and a PlayStation Players' Choice award for Marvel Rivals as top new game in December 2024. The new season also saw the game break its concurrent player record on Steam.

While still early in Season 1, NetEase Games has already revealed future plans. Developers confirmed the intention to release a new playable hero every six weeks. Although Season 1 features the full Fantastic Four debut over three months (with future seasons promising less frequent content drops), fans remain excited about the steady influx of new characters.

Reddit user Useful_You_8045 highlighted the positive reception of the Midnight Features event quests, particularly praising their accessibility across Quick Play, Competitive, and AI matches. The option to play against AI is especially appreciated, providing a low-pressure environment for experimenting with new heroes or focusing on specific challenges. The rewards are also receiving positive feedback, with the Gallery Card showcasing Blade as a prime example.

Marvel Rivals’ Midnight Features Event Quests Are a Hit With Fans

The enhanced visual presentation of the event quests has also been noted. The in-game Events tab now features an animated Midnight Features newspaper, complete with headlines and images introducing each quest, bringing the Daily Bugle to life. While not all quests are currently active (full unlock expected January 17th), completion promises a free Thor skin.

Player satisfaction extends beyond the event quests. NetEase Games' improvements in Season 1, such as offering two free skins in the battle pass (instead of one), new maps, a new game mode, and balance adjustments, have been well-received. This attention to detail and community feedback fosters considerable optimism for the future of Marvel Rivals.
